Happy Birthday to Igor Larionov, hockey's legendary "Professor"! From dazzling Soviet arenas in the 1980s with his cerebral playmaking and Olympic gold medals, to hoisting three Stanley Cups as a Detroit Red Wing, you've always schooled opponents—and teammates—in how hockey should be played. Your smooth skating and brilliant vision made every shift look effortless.Even today, your legacy inspires generations of players who dream of matching your timeless finesse on ice. While others chased pucks blindly around rinks for decades, you calmly taught us all that brains beat brawn—every single time. Here's wishing you another year filled with wisdom (and maybe fewer lectures)!
